Serologic Evidence of Human Monocytic and Granulocytic Ehrlichiosis in Israel

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 1999
We conducted a retrospective serosurvey of 1,000 persons in Israel who had fever of undetermined cause to look for Ehrlichia chaffeensis antibodies. Four of five cases with antibodies reactive to E. chaffeensis were diagnosed in the summer, when ticks are more active. All patients had influenzalike symptoms with high fever. None of the cases was fatal.

Estimated seroprevalence of Ehrlichia canis in dogs in a remote community in the Northern Territory, Australia. [PDF]

Aust Vet J
Background The emergence of Ehrlichia canis in northern Australia in 2020 has reshaped the landscape of tick‐borne diseases in dogs, particularly in rural and remote communities where the brown dog tick (Rhipicephalus linnaei) is endemic. Despite the rapid spread of ehrlichiosis and reported impacts on dog health, its prevalence remains poorly ...

Protective Immunity and Immunopathology in Ehrlichiosis [PDF]

Zoonoses, 2022
Human monocytic ehrlichiosis, a tick transmitted infection, ranges in severity from apparently subclinical to fatal toxic shock-like disease. Models in immunocompetent mice range from abortive to uniformly lethal infection, depending on the Ehrlichia ...

Non-Canonical Inflammasome Pathway: The Role of Cell Death and Inflammation in Ehrlichiosis

Cells, 2023
Activating inflammatory caspases and releasing pro-inflammatory mediators are two essential functions of inflammasomes which are triggered in response to pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) or danger-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs).

Challenges of Diagnosing Severe Ehrlichiosis in Orthotopic Liver Transplant Recipients

Case Reports in Transplantation, 2021
In recent solid organ transplant recipients, acute febrile illness is usually a source of grave concern and a diagnostic dilemma, especially if no response is noted after initiation of broad antimicrobial therapy.

Central Nervous System Vasculitis Due to Ehrlichia canis in a Dog. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
A 4‐year‐old spayed female mixed‐breed dog presented with a 2‐month history of vestibulo‐cerebellar ataxia and right head tilt. Clinical and MRI findings indicated right paradoxical vestibular syndrome with multifocal brain lesions and meningeal enhancement. Haematology revealed lymphocytosis, thrombocytopenia and hyperglobulinemia.

Ehrlichia chaffeensis Infections among HIV-infected Patients in Human Monocytic Ehrlichiosis–Endemic Area

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2003
Manifestations of human monocytic ehrlichiosis (HME), a tick-borne infection caused by Ehrlichia chaffeensis, range from asymptomatic disease to fulminant infection and may be particularly severe in persons infected with HIV.

Human Monocytic Ehrlichiosis Presenting as Acute Appendicitis During Pregnancy [PDF]

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2002
Human monocytic ehrlichiosis (HME) is caused by Ehrlichia chaffeensis, an obligate intracellular bacterium that infects mononuclear phagocytic cells. We report a unique case of HME diagnosed in a woman who presented with abdominal pain and acute appendicitis during early pregnancy and whose condition progressively deteriorated to adult respiratory ...
